Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first area including a first gate line group formed of “a” gate lines arranged along a first row line to an a-th row line in an active area, and a first dummy gate line group formed of “b” dummy gate lines arranged outside the active area; a second area including a second gate line group formed of “c” gate lines arranged along an (a+1)th row line to an (a+c)th row line in the active area, and a second dummy gate line group formed of “d” dummy gate lines arranged outside the active area opposing the first dummy gate line group so as to interpose the active area therebetween; and a driving circuit for sequentially selecting the gate lines from the a-th row line of the first gate line group to the dummy gate line of the first dummy gate line group one by one in the first area, and for sequentially selecting the gate lines from the (a+1)th row line of the second gate line group to the dummy gate line of the second dummy gate line group one by one in the second area; wherein an image signal and a non-image signal are written within one-frame period in the first and second areas.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein a selection period to select the gate lines includes one horizontal period and a preliminary writing period earlier than the horizontal period for writing the image signal in the writing operation of the image signal and the non-image signal.

3

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein the selection period of the gate lines of the a-th row line and the (a+1)th row line includes a preliminary writing period in which the image signal of any of the row lines is written as a dummy signal in the writing of the image signal.

4

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of gate lines are selected simultaneously in the writing of the non-image signal.

5

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal mode is OCB mode.
